Description: GNU Carbon Credit BTX Blem Snowboard

The new 2013 GNU Carbon Credit BTX Snowboard is ready to change your shred life like a boys first kiss. Yep, Gnu has done it again with another killer Magne-Traction Banana Tech that board is out to take you from zero to hero and everywhere in-between like Marty McFly at a school dance with a guitar. Pop it like it''s hot with the Bi-Axial Glass, Aspen core and rigid hand made in the U.S.A construction dog! As if all that weren''t enough, the Carbon Credit comes in wide sizes for all of the big footed bro''s out there too!

This board has some minor cosmetic defects-nothing that affects the performance

Great middle of the road board for a great price. Really poppy for trick and Park skill stuff. Great for powder when we get it, and general park. A little less stable when going super fast, but not a big deal

Best Answer:I just bought this board and haven't been able to ride it yet...as far as I know there is nothing wrong with it. I have only heard great things about this board and love that it is a Transworld Good Wood Winner. I definitely recommend this board, its something you can have for a while and grow into. For the price, its hard to do better. And yea, a 153 would probably work for you. Just for reference I am 6 foot / 180 lbs and currently ride a 162'. I bought i 156 in the GNU Carbon Credit because 162 is a lil longer than I like it and wanted to go small rather than get the 159. Size is up to you, but a 153 is in the correct window for you size. Hope that helps, good luck.

I honestly can't find where the blem is on my board. If it's anything, it's extremely slight, nothing that has any effect on the boards performance. I live in UT so I ride mostly powder. The board has alot of pop and is great in the park. I got the 153 and we're very similar in size, it chatters more than a camber board when you're booking down groomed runs, but that's my only complaint. Very stable, very friendly, very playful.

Zach and Justin said it right, there might be a cosmetic defect (offset color/miss-matched color) but you'll probably never even notice the difference. The Gnu Carbon Credit is a rad board and you'd be better on the 153cm size.

Best Answer:I am 5'11", 170lbs and currently ride a 153cm board and it rides great for me. If you are looking for more of a mountain/back-country board I would go for a longer board. If you are looking for a park/freestyle board then 153cm would be a good board.
